Scratching Noises in Your Attic?

Unwanted Wildlife on Property?

Problem Bird or Bat Infestation?

Digging Lawn or Under House?

We Can Solve It!

Many of Wisconsin's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found
that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably,
these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire
hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Wisconsin's
wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Waukesha county animal services
for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses,
pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Brookfield animal control for wildlife issues.

Brookfield Wildlife Removal Tip: Do All Bats Carry Rabies?

Rabies is a life-threatening disease that can be prevented only with right education and safety measures. Studies reveal that along with dogs, raccoons, coyotes, and cats; bats are also rabies carriers. Within past few years, bats have adapted urban lifestyle, and their presence near human residences has increased the chances of rabies in people. If you live in the bat affected areas, it is high time to understand few essential facts about these creatures and rabies as well so that you can prevent the disease.

Bats are capable enough to transmit rabies virus to animals and humans. However, deaths caused by rabies are not so common in the United States, but it is considered as one of the most harmful diseases in the world that impacts more than 5 billion people per year. Around 70,000 deaths are reported every year in different corners of the world due to rabies virus.

Many people keep on asking a common question, whether all bats carry rabies virus or not. The quick answer to this question is no; studies show that only 1% bats in the United States are infected with rabies virus. Note that transmission of rabies virus from animals to humans occurs primarily through saliva at the time of the bite. Although there are few additional routes for disease transfer, they are rare. There are so many mammals around the world that can cause rabies in humans, but in the United States, the cases of the disease are primarily due to coyotes, foxes, raccoons, skunks, and bats. However, the primary source of human deaths due to rabies virus in the United States is bats.

Bats are an essential part of the ecosystem, but as they carry the rabies virus, so it is important to maintain distance from these nocturnal creatures. From past few years, bat roosts are commonly seen in the caves, trees, and buildings as well. When bats feel threatened, they usually make hissing and screeching sound. Many bat species are able to take long flights from ground level, but few are not able to do so; in this situation, many people develop a misconception that this particular bat is rabid. It is not possible to know if a bat is rabies infected or not by just looking at it. In case if a bat suddenly enters your room, whether it shows the signs of rabies or not, it is important to maintain distance from this mammal.

These nocturnal creatures have small teeth, so bite marks may not be clearly visible. Even they can disappear within 30 minutes. But all bat bites must be considered serious, and it is important to consult medical health professionals as soon as possible. As a first aid solution, bite must be washed with water and soap; and then a medical treatment must be applied. Rabies mortality rate is around 99.99% still it is 100% preventable with proper care and vaccination. Prefer to follow preventive methods and maintain distance from bats. Don't try to touch them with bare hands.
